Netflix sued over lost copy of unreleased Nicolas Cage film

Netflix is being sued for $105 million by a production company which claims that the streamer lost a hard drive containing an unreleased Nicolas Cage movie titled Fortitude, Euronews writes.

The lawsuit filed yesterday in California federal court by writer-producer Simon Afram and his company, Op-Fortitude, accuses Netflix of compromising the sale of the World War II thriller.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that a copy of the film was on one of several hard drives stolen from Netflix offices in Los Angeles last month.

In a statement to THR, the streaming giant denied all claims made against them.

Fortitude was directed by Simon West (Con Air, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Bride Hard) and is based on the true story of British intelligence officers who incorporated unique strategic operations to fool Nazi leadership.
